Re-attaching Databases After Upgrading To SQL Server Enterprise Edition
Jun 7, 2007
Since Upgrading from SQL Standard Edition to SQL Server EE we have been unable to re-attach the database files that we detached before the upgrade, to SQL Server Management studio. We get an error message that reads:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------
Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum)

I am attempting to upgrade a 2005 Standard Edtion to Enterprise Edition. This is a default instance. All components are upgraded successfully except the Database Engine. I receive the following error:
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following problem: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]The certificate cannot be dropped because one or more entities are either signed or encrypted using it.. To continue, correct the problem, and then run SQL Server Setup again.
This installation does not have encryption enabled, so I do not undersand the error or how to correct it.
After rebooting the SQL instance appears to be upgraded to Enterprise, but it cannot be upgraded to SP2.
I did all the stuff necessary for the upgrading (the Upgrade Advisor didn't say anything special), but the Setup says the following:
" Name: Microsoft SQL Server 7.00.1063 Cause: The update is blocked. You can obtain more informations in the online help "Versions- and editionsupdates".
Editions problem: The update is blocked because of rules for the editions update. "
Is it possible that an upgrade is not possible with the evaluation edition? Or can there be another cause?
We have SQL 2005 standard edition and Reporting Services installed on the same server. We are now upgrading from standard to enterprise edition, so we ran setup and let it do its thing. This upgraded SQL Server without any problems but it failed to upgrade Reporting Services. We got a message saying "...set up did not have the administrator permissions required to copy a file: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.5Reporting ServicesReport Server ssrvpolicy.config...".
As we tried to upgrade reporting services using the same administrator account we cannot understand why this error would occur. From checking the version of SQL Server to Reporting Services we have 9.00.1399.06 on SQL Server and 9.00.1399.00 on Reporting Services so I presume this proves the upgrade did not work?
The enterprise edition of SQL server includes some advanced BI features, for example the fuzzy lookup feature of IS. If the IS package lives on an enterprise edition of SQL server and the database the package it is targeting lives on a standard edition of SQL server can the advanced features be used? Can you run a fuzzy look against a database on a standard edition of SQL server when th IS package lives on an enterprise edition of SQL server? THANKS!
I believe it is possible to restore databases from Enterprise edition to an enviroment with Standard edition. We have been able to do it on databases without any partitioned tables. But if a database has partitioned tables it will not start up in the Standard edition after a successful restore. The error log states that the database will not start because partitions are not allowed in Standard edition (which we knew). But we were led to believe that the databases would restore and open fine, the partitions would just not be there in Standard edition. Are we possibly doing something wrong or will this just not work?
Hello!! How can I upgrade from SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition? I see allot of example of upgrading from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005, but no example on upgrading from SQL Server 2005 Express to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise or Standard. Is this possible?
Hi -I have istalled sql server 2005 standard edition , I want to install sql server 2005 enterprise edition on the same machine. Is it possible? I have Microsoft windows server 2003 SP2 and 1GB RAM. I want to use partition function with the enterprise edition, will the trial version of sql server work for me? -If I have already created a database and tables using the standard edition, will I be able to access and use the database using the installed trial version or will I have to start a fresh creating a new database? - Is it possible to access the same database with any of the installed versions?
BTW, I am prety new to sql server and databases , I am trying to learn by myself
Dear All,We have a database which contains many tables which have millions ofrecords. When We attach the database with MS SQL Server 2005 StandardEdition Server and run some queries (having joins, filters etc.) thenthey take very long time to execute while when We execute same querieson Enterprise Edition then they run 10 times faster than on standardedition.Our database does not use any features which are present in EnterpriseEdition and not present in Standard Edition. We want to know what arethe differences between Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition forperformance. Why should we go for Enterprise Edition when StandardEdition has all the features required.We are presently using evaluation versions of SQL Server 2005 Standardand Enterprise Editions.Thanks and regards,Nishant Sainihttp://www.simplyjava.com
Here I need some help or suggestions for the following topic...
I am using SQL server 2000 enterprise edition installed on the machine. Now I wanted to change the edition from enterprise to standard. There are around 4 user databases exists on the server. What are the areas I have to take care while doing this? Could I do as normal installation? No log shipping implemented on the server.
We have an existing installation of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (64bit) that we are ready to go live with and would like to change the edition to Enterprise Edition (64bit). We have purchased all the appropriate licenses. We would like to avoid UN-installing the Developer Edition and RE-installing the Enterprise Edition. There must be some way to change a registry key, provide your serial number via a command line utility or re-run the setup with the license key provided and direct it to just change the edition from Developer to Enterprise and not change any of the other settings like service account, sa account, collation, etc. Any help is most appreciated.
I recently bought a Dell server with Windows 2003 enterprise edition. I wanted the X32 version and metnioned of the same to the sales people, but somehow they put the x64 edition on the server. The database I am planning to use does not work on X64 edition as of now. How do I downgrade the OS to X32 version? Do I need to send the system back to Dell? Machine not opened yet. Or is there a way I can get software CD and downgrade to X32 version?
Once complete, "select SERVERPROPERTY('LicenseType')" returns DISABLED, but I expected that it would return PER_SEAT.
Thankfully, after the upgrade it does show EDITION=Standard Edition.
Questions:
1. How do I verify the license installed is the Client Access License of 5?
-- SQL Server 2005 does not seem to have the same SQL Licence control panel as did SQL 2000. It is not listed under Control Panel -> Licensing (only thing listed is 'Windows Server') nor under Administrator Tools -> Licensing.
2. How do you add CALs or change license type in SQL 2005?
-- I was also puzzled that I was not asked during setup of the license mode and/or number of licenses ( I did not get this on a fresh install of SQL 2005 SE either ).
Hi I currently have this edition of SQL server on my laptop:
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86) May 3 2005 23:18:38 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Desktop Engine on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
It is running on SQL Server Management Studio 2005.
I wish to upgrdade to Developer Edition (as my laptop won't support Enterprise as it's running on Windows XP).
I have some questions, which I would be grateful if somebody could help answering:
1- will all my database remain as they are? 2- Will I loose any functionality? 3- Will it upgrade or intstall a separate edition? 4- Can anybody recommend where to purchase Developer 2005 edition? 5- I currently have 2gb capped database limit on my version, will I get a no capped limit? 6- Will the 2gb Capped limit increase to uncapped once I install (i.e. can i use my previous 2gb database and add more data to above 2 gb)
The main issues are that I need an uncapped limit for my DB's and that I will keep my existing db's.
I don't have any idea about upgrading databases.I am been given this task. It would be great if you let me know what are all the things to be considered upgrading the sql server 2000 databases to sql server 2005.
I just received my licensed disks for upgrading my SQL Server 2005 Evaluation version to a fully licensed version. Do I simply run the two disks over top of the evaluation version or is it a little bit more complicated? Any input would be greatly appreciated. A little new to SQL.
Is it possible to connect SSRS running on SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition (our production system) to a database running on SQL Server 2005 Developer's edition (our test system)
Haven't posted in a while but got great advice the last time I did - http://www.dbforums.com/t573220.html I hope someone can give me some advice this time.
Due to a flawed Microsoft hotfix the o/s on which my SQL Server was trashed completely causing me to lose some databases completely. The o/s and SQL Server have now been reinstalled (same version as before).
I have about 716 databases and logfiles which I need to re-attach to the server. I don't have the old master db or a db of all the database names. I was thinking I could write an asp script using FSO to get all the database & log file names & paths and attach them using sp_attach_db.
If anyone knows an easier way to do it or has advice to give, I would be really greatful.
Hi there Our ISP hosts our data on SQL Server Enterprise, but I also going to host the databases on my local machine. As it's just local would Standard edition do? If I migrate the databases over, will it work? Thanks in advance.
I installed a default instance of Enterprise edittion and
didn't face any error during the instalation process.
In Management Studio in the Server Name section for loging in I wrote the name of the local system.
but I couldn't log in.
in
Control Panel administrative toolsservices
there is no SQL Server service at all.
should I install any thing extra just like Express Edition which I used to install SQL Express in Visual Studio 2005 pakage or like MSDE in SQL Server 2000??
When i used to connect to "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition", my server name was "MYPCNAMESQLEXPRESS".
What is the Server Name in Enterprise Edition.
I just gave my Server Name as "MYPCNAME", but i am unable to connection and i am getting error.
"An error occured while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005,..........................................................(Provided name error:40)........................................................"
Doing some testing with Vista and SQL Server Express 2005..
I'm logging into Vista under a Windows admin account, UAC turned on. If I run SSMSE, log into my default server via Windows Authentication, thus using my Windows admin account, I'm unable to attach a database to the server. I'm getting the error message - Unable to open the physical file...Operating system error 5: Access is denied (error 5120), etc.
My Windows admin user is a member of the sysadmin server role for my server instance, and I'm running SP2.
To get around the problem, I can either choose to launch SSMSE with "Run as administrator", or give the Windows Users group full permissions on the database file. Detaching, deleting, etc is no problem with this admin user (e.g. do not need to select "Run as a administrator" on SSMSE launch).
Any ideas, or is this is behaving as expected? Thanks
I have sql server express edition on my local machine and sql server enterprise edition on the server. When I try to use the import export tool on the server . it gives me this error TITLE: SQL Server Import and Export Wizard------------------------------Error 0xc00470fe: Data Flow Task: The product level is insufficient for component "Destination - DOR_outFile_txt" (193).------------------------------BUTTONS:OK------------------------------ Is this error due to the fact that I have sql server express on my local machine? If yes, then does that mean that if I am programming from my local machine, the version of SQL on the server doesn't matter?
Working on some performance issues at the database end, our team observed, that the query execution done by SQL Server 2005 was done by using only one processor in our application. The stored procedures are written in T-SQL and have a dedicated Database Server, running SQL Server 2005. Our tests lead to the following observations; SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition was executing stored procedures using only 1 processor, when it is a multiple processor Server. Apart from this the stored procedure execution is very linear. We would like to have your suggestions on the same. Regards, Girish
I am trying to configure a 2 node SQL cluster. MSCS is configured and is failing over correctly, however when I start the installation of SQL Server, and specify the IP address of the virtual server and hit next, the installation hangs, and stops responding. I have ran comclust.exe on both nodes and verified that MSDTC shows up in the cluster administrator. I have searched high and low to no avail---
Can someone please help me? I recently upgraded from SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Evaluation Version (x64) to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Version (x64). While the components: Database Engine, Analysis Services, Workstation Components have been upgraded. I can still see that Reporting Services is still in the Evaluation Version. Integration Services is no where to be found.
Regardless, I wanted to add Integration Services but on the System Configuration Check, I am getting the following error: Edition Change Check: To change an existing instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to a different edition of SQL Server 2005, you must run SQL Server 2005 Setup from the command prompt and include the SKUUPgrade=1 parameter. So regardless of this message, I clicked Next, selected Integration Services and then it tells me that it has already been installed.
Anyway, I exit out of set-up. Try to create a new Integration Services project and I get the following error.
Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.PackageNeutralClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.SQLServer.DTS.Runtime.Wrapper.IDTSContainer90'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '8BDFE892-E9D8-4D23-9739-DA807BCDC2AC}' failed due to the following error: Library not registered. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002801d (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED)).
